As regards the officers required to inspect the above mentioned systems and services and the frequency of such inspections, the Board has decided the following:

    in their charge.

 The systems and services will be inspected on monthly basis by the
    jurisdictional Dy./Asstt. Commissioners or by an officer of the same
    rank as nominated by the jurisdictional Commissioner. The inspection
    results will be communicated by the concerned Dy./ Asstt.
    Commissioners to their respective Commissioners on monthly basis.

In the Monthly Technical Reports (MTR) submitted to the Board and
    Directorate General of Inspection by the Commissionerates, a
    separate section may be introduced under the heading "Inspections
    of the Systems and Services". Under this heading, the inspection
    results in respect of each of the systems and services as mentioned
    above will be reported.
 In the event of any failure noticed in respect of the functioning of
    any systems or services during the month, the same will be
    specifically mentioned in the MTR indicating also the action taken to
    correct such failures. Immediate action will be taken by the
    jurisdictional Commissionerate to rectify such failure expeditiously.
    The time taken to correct the failure should also be mentioned in the
    report for the subsequent month.

In addition to monthly inspections by the concerned Dy./Asstt.
    Commissioners, the proper and effective functioning of the systems
    and services provided to the Commissionerates will also be verified on
    quarterly basis by the concerned Addl./Jt. Commissioners and on half
    yearly basis by the jurisdictional Commissioners. The details of
    quarterly/half yearly verification will be duly reflected in the MTR of
   
the relevant month.

Extracts of MTR relating to "Inspection of Systems and Services:"
    shall be sent to DGRI, Commissioner (Preventive Operations) and
    Commissioner (Systems).
The Directorate General of Inspection will consolidate the reports and
    submit monthly report on the MTRs to the Board.
The relevant and important aspects of proper, smooth and effective
    functioning of the systems and services reported by the
    Commissionerates in their MTRs will be highlighted by the Directorate
    General of Inspection in its report to the Board.
As and when the inspection teams of the Directorate General of
    Inspection visit any formation for conducting inspection as per the
    existing prescribed frequency/guidelines, they will also check the
    functioning of the systems and services provided to the said
    formations and comment on their working and maintenance.
In the event of any failure in respect of any system or services
    noticed by the Directorate General of Inspection through the MTRs
    submitted by the Commissionerates or during the visit of the
    inspection teams, the same will be brought to the notice of the Board
    immediately. The matter will also be concurrently taken up with the
    concerned Commissionerates on priority basis so that such failure
    could be rectified within a reasonable period of time.
